At CES 2025 earlier this week, Lenovo announced a handful of new Android tablets coming out this year, and there\u2019s something here for everyone.<\/p>\n

Starting with the flagship, the new Lenovo Yoga Tab Plus is a $699 Android tablet with a 12.7-inch anti-reflective 144Hz display, Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, and a focus on AI features that work on-device. The Yoga Tab Plus puts out a great showing in terms of hardware, with flashy design that includes a reflective glass bar around the back, giving classic Pixel vibes and also matching the Yoga Slim 9i that also launched at the show<\/a>. It has a magnetic kickstand that fits underneath the bar, and the tablet as a whole is super thin too.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a keyboard case included in the price, and you\u2019ll also get a Tab Pen Pro and a 45W charger in the box as well. The keyboard felt great, as Lenovo\u2019s keyboards generally do, and the magnetic connection was strong. I do wish, though, that the keyboard and kickstand were connected for better stability, but this is the going industry standard nowadays.<\/p>\n

The on-device AI features weren\u2019t ready for a CES demo (a little odd, as the tablet is already available for purchase<\/a>), but there\u2019s a button on the keyboard to directly access them, and the 16GB of onboard RAM should make this tablet fly through on-device AI, while also just making it a killer performer in general.<\/p>\n

As \u201cflagship\u201d level Android tablets go, this should be a solid contender. Lenovo originally said this was supposed to launch with Android 15, but it\u2019s actually Android 14 out of the box, though with Lenovo\u2019s \u201cPC Mode\u201d available for a better keyboard\/trackpad workspace.<\/p>\n

Lenovo Yoga Plus is available now from Lenovo.com<\/a> and Best Buy<\/a>, but the blue color is coming later.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Idea Tab Pro delivers effectively the same hardware and software, just for a lower price. The chip is swapped out a with a MediaTek Dimensity 8400 and there\u2019s half as much RAM at 8GB. But at $349, this tablet is presenting a killer value.<\/p>\n

For many, I think the Idea Tab Pro will be a great big-tablet option, especially at that price. I saw no problems with the hardware at all, and the performance in my quick look was solid enough too. Idea Tab Pro will be available in April.<\/p>\n

Finally, the Lenovo Tab is a $150 base tablet. It\u2019s not very powerful with just 4GB of RAM and a low-end MediaTek chip, but its price makes it easily accessible, and Lenovo will be offering it with a cover designed for kids. The hardware was solid and the 10.1-inch screen is good. I\u2019m not sure how the software will hold up with the minimal specs, though, as Lenovo\u2019s software is notorious for being laggy even on high-power devices. This seems like an alternative to the Galaxy Tab A9, but I think I\u2019d opt for Samsung on a performance level. I was surprised to see that Lenovo\u2019s tablet wasn\u2019t too<\/em> bogged down in my demo at CES, though, so I\u2019m at least hopeful it\u2019ll deliver a decent experience.<\/p>\n

The Lenovo Tab will be available in June.<\/p>\n
